(Cat flutter Chinese) () "Why?" You Heng and Lu Gong asked at the same time.

Ling Yan said with a smile: "General Zuo once told me that if you want to march from Grasshopper City, it is not advisable to directly attack Dingtao from the main road, firstly, the road is far away, and secondly, there is such a passage as Jiyīn City next to it, if the enemy army attacks from the side road, it will be difficult to do...... The current situation, and vice versa, if they win, they will definitely attack the city from the road we have taken, at least we must first regain the lost territory. Besides, it is very likely that they will guess or know that we are attacking them from this road, so there is no reason for them to attack Grasshopper City from the main road at all. ”

Lu Gong was a little confused when he heard it, and after You Heng listened, he nodded: "What General Zuo said also has some truth, but it is better for us to be careful to avoid accidents." ”

Ling Yan nodded extremely happily, and then said to Lu Gong: "General Lu, give the order, enter the army immediately after eating, and no longer rest halfway, and when you arrive at Dingtao City, take a good rest!" After finishing speaking, Ling Yan couldn't help but laugh a few more times for a while.

Ling Yan's smile was genuinely happy from the bottom of his heart, and his laughter was also transmitted to You Heng and Lu Gong, making them laugh unconsciously in a somewhat hesitant mood.

After the soldiers had eaten, they immediately marched to the front again, and Lu Gong said a lot of morale-boosting words to these soldiers, such as "When you arrive at Dingtao City, you will have a good rest", so the morale was suddenly uplifted, and the speed of the march was unconsciously increased a lot.

You Heng also marched with Ling Yan in the front army, and the rear army naturally let Yang Feng lead it alone.

Due to the increased speed of the march, in the early morning of the next day, Ling Yan's soldiers and horses came not far from Dingtao City.

Before this, You Heng had come to Ling Yan's side and whispered something to Ling Yan.

"Brother Xian, I think something is wrong." You Heng said in a low voice, "I don't know if I'm overthinking." ”

"Huh? What's the matter? Ling Yan was in a good mood, and when he thought that he would soon be able to occupy Dingtao City without bloodshed, he was excited from the bottom of his heart.

You Heng said in a low voice: "Brother Xian, I said before that General Zuo was traveling to Dingtao City on a fast horse, and then immediately broke the city, and Sun Xia had no choice but to flee. ”

"Hmm." Ling Yan responded with a smile, although he didn't know what You Heng was going to say, he felt that You Heng must have been too worried.

You Heng frowned slightly and said, "If that's the case, I didn't calculate it very rigorously at that time, but now that I think about it, it is impossible for Sun Xia to attack Grasshopper City." ”

"Oh?" Ling Yanyi raised his eyebrows, "Why?" ”

You Heng's expression was a little guilty: "At that time, I didn't count the journey into it...... Brother Xian, if you think about it carefully, General Zuo immediately broke the city, so Sun Xia must need more than half a moon to travel from Dingtao City to Grasshopper City, how could it be that before we arrived at Dingtao, he attacked Grasshopper City first? ”

Ling Yan listened to You Heng's analysis, and then thought about it seriously, he may have been too happy before, so he didn't think about these inferences carefully, so at that time, You Heng miscalculated, and Ling Yan didn't notice it, but now that he thinks about it so carefully, he does feel that something is wrong.

"yes!" Ling Yan suddenly realized, "Then how could Sun Xia be so fast?" One step ahead of us, we arrived in Mayfly City? ”

You Heng pondered for a moment, and then said, "Maybe General Zuo has misremembered this terrain, maybe in fact, Dingtao City is not far from Grasshopper City." ”

Ling Yan felt that what You Heng said also made some sense, he was completely unfamiliar with the terrain of this place, so it was okay for Colonel Zuo to say it, but he suddenly remembered a question: Colonel Zuo may be able to remember wrong, but the map can always be wrong, right?

Thinking of this, Ling Yan took out the map and showed it to You Heng: "Brother You, look at this map, from Grasshopper City to Dingtao City, even if you look at it from above, it's not close!" ”

You Heng looked at the map, then nodded and said: "This map, although it is not accurate, but it may not be too wrong. ”

"Really?" Ling Yan said, "What General Zuo said should be right. ”

You Heng nodded a little reluctantly: "Maybe that's the case...... Then Sun Xia's siege of the city is also a fact, how could he be so fast? Don't...... Could it be that the information is wrong? ”

Ling Yan shook his head firmly: he believed in Colonel Zuo, but he believed in Zhang Yi, a general who had a lifelong friendship, and they would not lie about the military situation. But if it is really a false positive, it is even more impossible, other information may have errors, but how can there be false positives in such a thing as a siege?

You Heng couldn't figure it out: "Brother Xian, although this matter is not a big deal, I still think there are some problems. ”

Ling Yan also nodded, he had to admit You Heng's thoughts: "Brother You, this matter does have some doubts, but now this is about to arrive in Dingtao City, let's go to the city first." ”

Although this episode made Ling Yan feel a little less comfortable, he still didn't feel too relieved, he almost decided that Dingtao had been taken, and Sun Xia and they fled to Grasshopper City and were forced to attack. He felt that only such speculation was reasonable, perhaps because he was subconsciously only willing to believe this speculation.

When he saw Dingtao City from a distance, because it was early morning, there was some mist on the mountain tree-lined road, and the sky was also gray, so Ling Yan only saw a general outline of Dingtao City.

The terrain where Ling Yanjun was located at this time was slightly higher than the horizontal height of Dingtao City, so Ling Yan looked at the direction of Dingtao City Gate, which was a slightly downward inclined perspective, so as long as Ling Yan looked directly, he could just see the scene on the head of the city.

And the scene on the head of the city at this time also made Ling Yan stunned for a moment.

In the morning mist, Ling Yan could still vaguely see the situation outside Dingtao City—in the mild morning breeze, Dingtao City seemed to be asleep, quiet.

And the reason why Ling Yan was stunned was that Dingtao City was not like the previous Ji yīn City and Grasshopper City, but a really majestic city, and there was an extremely wide moat, that is, when he saw that the city was empty.

When Ling Yan was stunned, You Heng and Lu Gong naturally saw the situation in Dingtao City, so Lu Gong first asked, "Huh?" Why is there no one guarding the city of Dingtao? ”

After Ling Yan was stunned for a short time, excitement gradually appeared on his face: "I know!" ”

You Heng and Lu Gong were both taken aback, and You Heng asked, "Brother Xian, do you know why?" ”

Ling Yan nodded and said excitedly, "Hmm! This must be exactly the same as the situation in Jiyīn City before! ”

After hearing this, Lu Gong and You Heng had different expressions on their faces.

Ling Yan pointed to the city gate excitedly and said loudly, "Look! The gates seem to be wide open, too! ”

Lu Gong and You Heng looked in the direction Ling Yan pointed out, but they didn't respond immediately.

For in the fog, it is easier to tell whether there is a person on the head of the city, but it is not clear whether the gate is open or not.

But one thing is certain, that is, the suspension bridge over the moat is built on the river.

In fact, Ling Yan didn't see the situation of the city gate too clearly, but he judged the situation of the city gate by feeling, and under the influence of this kind of thinking, he seemed to really see that the city gate seemed to be slightly open.

"Brother Xian, then do we want to divide the army and move forward?" You Heng asked with some concern.

Lu Gong immediately picked up: "General Yan! The last general is willing to go and investigate first! ”

Ling Yan smiled: "No need, let's go together!" Let's share the joy of Champa! Ha! ”

You Heng and Lu Gong looked at each other, they didn't seem to particularly agree with Ling Yan's proposal, but seeing that Ling Yan was in high spirits, they didn't say anything.

So, Ling Yan ordered the military horses to trot all the way forward.

Half an hour later, Ling Yan and the others came to Dingtao City.

Looking at Dingtao City from a distance just now, I still couldn't see it very clearly, but now when I look in front of me, it is completely clear - not only is the city gate ajar, there is not a single soldier guarding the city or the city gate, but the drawbridge is really across the moat, as if there is no one to manage it at all, so that people entering and leaving Dingtao City can be unimpeded.

Ling Yan saw these in his eyes, which naturally made him very happy, but what made him even more excited was the corpses of soldiers and a few mutilated flags everywhere outside the city.

Ling Yan excitedly pointed quickly with his hand, and said to You Heng and Lu Gong: "Look! The gates were really wide open! The corpses on the ground are not General Zuo's soldiers, they must be the defenders of this Dingtao City! ”

Ling Yan desperately asked You Heng and Lu Gong for evidence to prove that his inference was correct, and You Heng and Lu Gong naturally knew this.

You Heng looked carefully at the place Ling Yan said, and unconsciously believed Ling Yan's inference: "Hmm...... As expected by the virtuous brother, it was indeed true, it seems that this Dingtao City was indeed broken by General Zuo. ”

Lu Gong also nodded: "And there are so many corpses at the main gate of this city, which proves that a battle was fought here, but it should be that the enemy army has been defeated." ”

Seeing that You Heng and Lu Gong both believed in his calculations, Ling Yan was very happy, nodded desperately, and continued to reason: "Hmm! Well! Moreover, if General Zuo attacked the city, the enemy soldiers would not have died here...... You see, their bodies have crossed this moat! It must have been when the enemy abandoned the city and fled, and was covered up by General Zuo out of the city! ”

You Heng and Lu Gong couldn't help but nod.

Ling Yan suddenly remembered something, and turned his head to look back, this look made him even more excited: I saw that on this main road, on the way to extend, there were vaguely many corpses of soldiers.

"Look!" Ling Yan excitedly stretched out his hand and pointed.

At this moment, Lu Gong and You Heng couldn't help but look back, and even the soldiers beside them looked back curiously—however, Ling Yan and the others were on horses, and these soldiers were standing on the ground on foot, so naturally they didn't see as real as Ling Yan and them.

You Heng and Lu Gong turned their heads, glanced at each other, and nodded.

Seeing their expressions, Ling Yan turned his head and laughed—he really couldn't help but laugh because he was really happy.

In fact, if he only talked about breaking through the city, he might be as happy as Ling Yan is now, there are two main reasons why he is happy, one is that he naturally got such a big city so easily, which reminds him of the successive battles and victories in these few times - Juye City, Grasshopper City, Jiyīn City and Dingtao City in front of him, all of which were broken one after another, and his mood was naturally very good; The second point is that he finally confirmed the correctness of his opinion of Zuo Xiao, and convinced You Heng and Lu Gong, which made Ling Yan happy from the bottom of his heart, he was very proud of his correct vision, and let You Heng and others also believe in their judgment, and there are still some elements of vanity being satisfied.

However, no matter what, the city in front of him was an empty city unguarded, so after a burst of laughter, Ling Yan waved his hand freely and shouted excitedly: "Enter the city!" ”

At this time, You Heng asked again: "Brother Xian, depending on the situation, General Zuo may have abandoned the city to chase the enemy again, so should we ......?"

Ling Yan laughed and waved his hand: "Brother You, let's not care about those for now, General Zuo is eager for meritorious service, let him chase the enemy!" Moreover, the enemy army has already been disheartened, and it will definitely not be able to capture the city, and General Kuai should also arrive, and he will attack back and forth with General Zuo, and the enemy army will probably not be able to escape if he wants to! Ha ha...... We don't have to chase it, let's go to the city and have a good rest! Besides, we also promised the soldiers before, and after marching for so many days, it's time to breathe a sigh of relief! ”

The volume of Ling Yan's speech was quite loud, and the soldiers beside him naturally heard it, and they all shouted in unison: "General Shenwei!" Shogun Kamui! ……”

When Ling Yan heard this kind of "flattery", his heart was really happy, and he couldn't help but laugh again.

At the same time, with a wave of his hand, the soldiers and horses quickly walked towards the city gate.

When crossing the suspension bridge, Ling Yan and the others walked on the thick wooden plank, making a creaking sound, and the bottomless river under the bridge was flowing slowly, making a "whoosh" sound, which looked very clear.

Ling Yan is still the first time to see the real moat and suspension bridge, although he has seen this kind of city with a moat before or on the picture, but after all, he really stepped on this suspension bridge, looking at the river under the bridge, it must be another feeling, this feeling Ling Yan has never had before, although he has been here in the Three Kingdoms for a long time, he will not sigh as much as when he first came here, but when he walked on the bridge, he still couldn't help but sigh that he, a modern person, really stepped on the suspension bridge of the Three Kingdoms period! When Ling Yan was in a good mood, he still sighed in his heart: After all, ancient times were still very backward! If this kind of moat is placed in modern society, how can it play any role in protection!

This moat is not wide from a distance, but in fact, walking on it, it is a long way, Ling Yan looked east and west on the bridge, looking very curious - this can't be blamed on him, this is the first time he has won a city with a moat since he came here!

This bridge Ling Yan walked for a full minute before he came to the city gate.

At this time, Lu Gong asked for an order: "General Yan, let's go into the city first by the last general to take a look!" ”

Ling Yan's mood at this time was extremely relaxed and happy, and he felt that there was no danger in this city, so he nodded happily.

Lu Gong took the lead and headed towards the city gate.

Ling Yan and You Heng stopped behind and waited for Lu Gong's situation.

The gap in the city gate was just enough for one person and one rider to pass through, and after Lu Gong passed through the city gate, he stopped.

At this time, Ling Yan and the others were behind Lu Gong, and they could only see Lu Gong's back and horse buttocks, so what Lu Gong saw at this time, whether there was anything unusual, and Lu Gong's expression at this time, they didn't know at all.

However, Ling Yan was still extremely relaxed at this time, but You Heng beside him was a little unstable, and whispered to Ling Yan: "Brother Xian, I'll go and see it too." ”

Ling Yan made a gesture: "Brother You, don't go, believe me, it's absolutely fine." ”

Seeing that Ling Yan said this, You Heng had no choice but to endure and see the situation of Lu Gong.

Lu Gong's horse took a few more steps forward, and Lu Gong's head turned around, and from time to time he looked back at it.

Seeing Lu Gong's actions, Ling Yan smiled at You Heng and said, "Brother You, look, it's okay, right?" ”

You Heng also seemed to breathe a sigh of relief and smiled at Ling Yan.

After a while, Lu Gong finally came out and said to Ling Yan: "General Yan, it's empty inside, I don't see a single person, it seems that it is really an empty city." ”

Ling Yan smiled happily and didn't say anything, just nodded and took the lead towards the city gate.

Seeing that there was really no danger, You Heng and the others immediately followed, and at the same time, several soldiers ran over and pushed the city gate wide open.

Ling Yan entered the city in high spirits, and when he saw that there was no one in the city, he laughed heartily a few times.

Ling Yan's laughter, sounding particularly loud in the clear morning, echoed in the sky.

Lu Gong, You Heng and the others next to them were originally startled by Ling Yan's laughter, and Lu Gong wanted to persuade Ling Yan something, but after thinking about it again, he thought about it and laughed along.

Ling Yan couldn't wait to experience the thrill of capturing the city, so he first asked You Heng to go to the city to check it out, and by the way, he went to arrange the placement of soldiers and horses, while he took Lu Gong and climbed to the top of the city.

The city was also in shambles, with the corpses of soldiers everywhere.

Ling Yan came to the middle of the city, facing the morning breeze, looking into the distance, unconsciously relaxed, suddenly childlike heart sprouted, and had the urge to spit on the city, wanting to try to spit into the moat, he thought that if he could, then in this ancient river, there would be evidence that he came to "visit here".

Thinking like this, Ling Yan couldn't help but smirk, causing Lu Gong beside him to be stunned for some reason.

However, Ling Yan still didn't do this, because Lu Gong was next to him, and he was still embarrassed: how to say that as the head coach, he must have a little majesty as a head coach! Cat flutter Chinese
